Volunteer

Through direct contact and personal involvement with our community members, veterans and their families are made to feel welcomed and appreciated for their service to our country. Each veteran will be sponsored by a family of “certified” volunteers who are committed to providing a network of support to veterans and their families.

There are many ways you can volunteer to help. From serving at CVC events to moving veterans and their families into new homes, volunteers are always needed and appreciated. Together we can continue to ensure that the men and women who so valiantly defended the freedoms that we enjoy will be provided the 360 degrees of support they need to achieve the civilian lifestyle they deserve.

Front Desk Assistant

We are in need of multiple volunteers to serve in greeting our guests, answering phone calls, and responding to questions regarding our program or volunteer opportunities. At the end of the day, our Front Desk Assistants are responsible for closing the office and tidying up when needed. There may be times when this position is the only person in the office, so he/she must be dependable. There are two shift options available: 9 AM–12 PM or 12–3 PM. However, we are always open to having extra volunteers on call to fill-in for this position when needed.

This position is detail-oriented, and responsible for maintaining current registration forms, logging veteran information into our database, managing promotional materials, and delivering thank-you letters in a timely manner.

Program Assistant

The Program Assistant volunteer will work alongside our Office Manager during event planning. This position would assist in developing communications and planning and executing events. Responsibilities include researching, writing, organizing, arranging facilities and catering, and promoting events to the public.

This position is needed to develop and maintain a list of CVC’s business, group, and individual donor records. Other responsibilities include data entry of all donations received throughout the year, and delivering gift receipts and personalized acknowledgement letters for tax-related purposes.

Inventory Clerk

One unique way we’re able to raise funds for our program is through the sales of high-quality promotional apparel and products.

Website Volunteer

Disaster Response Volunteer

Hurricanes and other natural disasters throughout the state of Florida can be absolutely devastating to our combat veterans and their families who are in the process of transitioning to civilian life. Our team provides much-needed assistance and relief efforts before, during and after these occurrences. The Disaster Response Volunteer would be responsible for planning for future emergencies and combining specialized response teams for our program veterans, alongside our staff and board members.

Capital Campaign Volunteer

The Restoring Hope Thrift Store provides revenue to help fund our organization, so its volunteers directly benefit CVC.
